On a blasting hot Saturday afternoon in Tempe Arizona, a group of journalists from around Asia (plus one from the United States) are learning what ground-level politics looks like in the American West.

The journalists are part of the latest group of Jefferson Fellows at the Center, on a trip to the U.S. heartland to experience the Presidential campaign between John McCain and Barack Obama from the inside.

After a week of seminars and briefings in Honolulu, the Jeffs are off to Arizona, then on to battleground states Pennsylvania and Ohio and finally to Washington, D.C.
